I don’t know one place that accepts BTC around me. Not one. I ask and would use BTC but that’s kind of my point. It’s just not a viable MOE yet. At least in the US. And that’s fine. It’s not there yet. So I’ll spend local currency (USD), some of which I may or may not have sold some BTC to obtain.

I was mainly alluding to online purchases, but it is still very difficult to find brick and mortar businesses that take bitcoin. You can buy gift cards on bitrefill but that can be a hassle.
